‘Mortal Kombat 11’ Sells Over 12 Million Units; ‘Death Stranding’ Crosses 5 Million Units Sold
Event though Mortal Kombat 11 is effectively done in terms of additional content, given the latest sales numbers, it’d be difficult for Warner Bros and NetherRealm to pass up an opportunity to revisit the series again.
In a new press release, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developer NetherRealm Studios announced that Mortal Kombat 11 has now sold over 12 million units. Furthermore, the total console sales of the franchise has now crossed over 73 million.
According to NetherRealm Studios creative director and Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon, when the franchise first hit arcades 30 years ago, “I never dreamed it would grow into the franchise it is today with more than 73 million games sold. We have some of the most passionate fans in the world and we appreciate the support they have shown us over the years.”
Additionally, Mortal Kombat Mobile has amassed 138 million installs, with millions of active users.
What’s next for Boon and company is anyone’s guess. There’s the rumour (perpetuated by Boon, of course) that NetherRealm is working away at a fighting game using Marvel Comics’ properties, but nothing has come of it (yet).
Meanwhile, Kojima Productions announced earlier that their debut game Death Stranding has hit a milestone of its own. In addition to a new interview with GamesIndustry.biz, the developer has announced that the game has sold over 5 million units across PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
That number will only go up with the upcoming release of the Director’s Cut of Death Stranding for the PlayStation 5, which is expected on September 24.
Mortal Kombat 11 and its DLC Aftermath is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.
After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.
Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.
As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.
Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.
- The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
- Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
- The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
- A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
- The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
- The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.
Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
